Wow! Thanks for this. I didn't know hard boiled eggs are that much better than scrambled eggs. I'll start eating hard boiled eggs for breakfast tomorrow. How many should I eat? Should 1 be okay?

Seeing as how 1 hard boiled egg has only about 77.5 calories, I'd say having 1-3 eggs would be good.

1-3 eggs a meal? or a day?

You can have as many egg whites in a day that you wish, however the yolk part of the egg contains the cholesterol so you probably don't want to eat too much of that. 1-3 yolks per day is probably the maximum, especially if you have high cholesterol.

I wonder if I could shake up an egg before boiling it so the yolk and whites are mixed. I'm not too fond of boiled egg yolks, they taste chalky to me. I have to open up boiled eggs and rinse the yolk off before I'll eat it unless I'm in a hurry or around someone who is a larger headache to listen to about wasting food than the bad taste of boiled yolk is.

So do you just eat the white part of the hard boiled egg?

I've never tried shaking an egg up before boiling it so I have no idea if that would make the white part mix with the yolk. Maybe you should have an experiment and let us know how it turned out .

Yep. I pretty much throw the boiled yolk away or give it to someone who wants it.
I'm not a fan of deviled eggs either.

I actually tried shaking up a pair of eggs and boiling them about 15 minutes after I posted today.
It didn't turn out so well. I think one of the eggs had a weak spot to begin with and shaking it just made it worse because a lot of the white oozed out and solidified while boiling it. The other egg didn't turn out any different than it would had I just put it in the water.

I gave them both a good 5 minutes worth of violent shaking. I could hear the egg sloshing around inside the shell, but the whole time I had a feeling it wasn't going to do much because it didn't feel like there was much movement going on inside, at least not enough to mix it up.

Now I'm wondering if I had something that could sit in the fridge and vibrate the eggs for maybe an hour whether the vibration would eventually break them down. Problem number one with that though, is that the cold will cause anything with batteries to die faster than normal.

It's actually healthier for you to eat the boiled egg without the yolk, so that's good that you don't like it! I actually like that part, so I can't say the same.

Oh, wow, you already did the experiment! Sometimes the white oozes out while boiling because the shell cracks when you drop it into the water... are you sure the egg wasn't cracked? The other egg didn't change though huh? I kinda had a feeling it wouldn't. Oh well... thanks for doing the experiment and letting us know about it anyway!

It's just the boiled yolks I don't like. I like eggs scrambled, I also like them sunny side up so I can dunk my toast in the runny yolks.
It's something about that chalky texture and the way it dries my mouth out. I think boiled yolk tastes different than yolk any other way too.

When I boil eggs, I lower them into the water with a spoon so they don't crack. They were both in one piece when I put them in.
I'm pretty sure the egg cracked while boiling. I think there was a weak spot in the shell because I passed up on another egg from the same carton that had a spot that looked different depending on how the light was hitting the egg from the other side.

Oh, I guess you're not so healthy after all!

Easter eggs. I don't know why, but for some reason I wanted to bring them up.

I've got one grandfather that died of lung cancer and never smoked a day in his life, and another that died of pneumonia after going through multiple heart surgeries doctors didn't even want to do because nobody thought he'd survive them. I figure something respiratory related is going to kill me before the food I eat gets a chance to.

Interesting. Yeah, a lot of times it seems people die of ways that didn't pertain to all the bad health choices they made. A lady my uncle used to live with and date just recently died of cirrhosis of the liver and she never drank a day in her life. She was around 50 years old I think.
